New Chick-fil-a sauce

Recently Chick-fil-a updated their classic Strips by changing the breading recipe and making them bigger. Now instead of a choice between a 4-count or a 6-count, you get a 3- or a 4-, but the new ones are certainly noticeably bigger so you're not getting ripped off. Accompanying the new strips is a new "Chick-fil-a" sauce. It's yellowish, and bares a strong resemblance to run-of-the-mill honey mustard, and though I can't qualify the difference between this sauce and honey mustard, there certainly is a difference. The difference is not that striking, however, and my lack of memory concerning whether or not Chick-fil-a currently offers honey mustard is the line that determines if this was a necessary addition or not.

Chicken strip-wise, I'm a pretty big Ranch loyalist, though occasionally I'll dip my strip in some honey mustard or Chick-fil-a's tasty polynesian sauce. Chick-fil-a sauce was decent, but I imagine upon future returns to the chain I'll probably stick to the staples when I get the strips (or nuggets, even).

Edit: I checked C-f-a's website, and they do offer Honey Mustard Sauce, and an investigation of the ingredients of the Chick-fil-a sauce pegs it as nothing more than a Honey Mustard/BBQ sauce combination. Give sauce dippers a little credit; they could have come up with this on their own.

Got some spring rolls the other day. Came with some amazing dip. It had something to do with sweet chili sauce, but it was thick like mayonnaise. I know, sounds weird, but trust me, really good.
